And what is this way of how you punish him. When he has Ryu covering him it is literally impossible.
Honestly at this point I dont really care to delve this deep into the game anymore. I dont really enjoy the games system mechanics. I really dont like how often mega crashes are going off for example.
And honestly when frank/cash lands a hit against a blade team that means I get instamegacrashed pretty much all the time since blade builds hella meter very fast while I am usually desperate for meter because 3/4 of the match I cant really touch Blade. Only time I get to do any damage with frank is when mike does something really stupid with 0-1 bars of meter and I get to infinite him. Outside of that I have no real good punishers. Blade can punish easily a guard string with push block into his instant super.
More than anything else Blade just seems to rape my characters who are both fairly slow with no range. It kinda sucks.
And dont get me wrong, I still get frequent wins vs Mike when we play. Its not like I cant beat him, thats not my point. My point is that my wins do not come from ANYTHING that I am doing right. Only time I really win big is it Mike makes a huge mistake with Blade really early in the Match which really isnt that often. And if he doesnt it becomes a very very hard battle of trying to block, stay away, land anything for damage. And the further along that process goes mike ends up with 5 meters while I am still stuck with 2. He can mega crash twice and be fine. I mega crash once I am probably screwed. Me and Mike are pretty even technically when it comes to mind games and executions. If we are both playing even, I will probably lose most of the time. Frank/Cash has no mixups, bad lows, bad range, poor meter building.
And I am not blaming this at all on Blade being good. Blade is VERY VERY good, its just my fault for picking bad characters and Im going to have to live with that cause besides maaaaybe alex, I aint sending that much time learning anyone else.
So thats that. Im not bitching about Blade anymore. (That means you gotta stop bitching about Rufus Mike!!! >=) )
Also Xian: please dont assume that I dont know what I am doing until you have actually seen me play. I am still decent at TvC its just that I am starting to not care about it as much. Frank started out beign super fun and original and over night he turned into one of the dumbest characters in the game with a brain dead infinite. It basically killed the character for me cause now I dont have fun trying new stuff cause now tis just, land infinite for the best damage.
Cash is still really cool though. Im probably best with him.
And to make a long post even longer:
ITS TIME TO OIL UP!
